I'm not really sure how to troubleshoot this. Several times a day, my keyboard will start repeating keys even if I let go of the key or require multiple presses to get the keypress to register. It almost feels like the CPU is pegged and the keyboard polling is messed up. At first I thought this was caused by PyCharm because the issue went away as soon as I closed it. However, today I've noticed it several times even when PyCharm isn't running. But even when I thought it was just PyCharm, the issue would persist system-wide, not just when I had PyCharm open. It definitely happens more often when PyCharm is running, and since PyCharm is kind of CPU-intensive what with it's dynamic inspection of python code for autocompletion and stuff, I'm wondering if maybe that feeling I get about the CPU usage and keyboard polling being correct. It's super frustrating when your keyboard is behaving erratically, but I don't know what to do about this.

One win7 computer works fine, one win7 computer can't connect to any of them. unknown computers seemed to work at the LAN I went to. I'm sure its a setting on the one that can't connect, just not sure which one it is.

Oftentimes one srpm produces several rpm's when built so there's that. Also you are looking for Fedora srpms, right?

Yep, problem I was having (I gave up and installed Fedora Spin) was all the newer packages on rpmfind were for mandriva and failed to rebuild since they use weird parameters in the spec file.

Ok, I decided to try out Debian but I'm having the hardest time even getting the live cd (debian-live-6.0.6-amd64-gnome-desktop) to boot. I copied it to a USB drive with unetbootin, but when I boot it up it shits a bunch of these errors: gtk-warning ** cannot open display: :0 I tried unplugging all but my main display, plugging it into the other dvi port, booting it up on my laptop, re-downloading/re-creating the bootable USB. Same results. I installed VirtualBox and tried running it from there, but I haven't really used it before and couldn't get it to recognize any keyboard input (Aside the host keybinds like Ctrl + F, Ctrl + R). I got a live cd of the testing branch from live.debian.net, but when I boot from that on either machine it just says "Remove disks or other media. Press any key to restart." I'm stumped. Any ideas?

Can somebody tell me why I can do this: ping google.com | perl -nle 'print scalar(localtime), " ", $_' but if I try this, the output doesn't go to the file: ping google.com | perl -nle 'print scalar(localtime), " ", $_' > pings.txt or ping google.com | perl -nle 'print scalar(localtime), " ", $_' &> pings.txt Same if I try to pipe it to tee. I also for some reason can't pipe ping through gzip to a file, but this works fine: ping google.com > pings.txt

Looks like your X server either isn't running or there's a problem starting it up. I haven't had too much success with unetbootin either, since it does its own bootloader or something before calling whichever one it specified. I would probably inspect the image, figure out what the filesystem looks like, format the flash drive the same way, rsync the contents, and use dd to copy the boot sector. That, or (simpler) straight-up one-for-one slap the image on the flash drive by dd'ing the whole thing, though that means that you're throwing away space equivalent to the difference in size of the flash drive and the image.

My question was horribly stupid, no two ways around it. In my defense, it only confused me for about 5 minutes, because my former place of employment did things a bit less secure than, well, anywhere, since it was all internal dev stations and all (not an excuse). Anyway thanks for the channel suggestions. I'm messing with RHEL6 because it's what my job interview on Friday is about, and it's what I was using before, so might as well keep this going. Mostly just trying to cram some more info about Bash scripting into my head and praying they don't ask me to write script with pen and paper, because I can't do that.

You need to be in 'video' to have permissions for DRI. You may also have success re-installing the mesa packages.

I've been running Fedora 18 with XFCE for a couple weeks with few problems. Initially I did a yum upgrade from Fedora 17 and thought there were problems with XFCE power manager not working. I did a reinstall from test LiveUSB and it persisted. Turns out that a systemd component does power button and lid closed power management. Besides that it's been a very stable evolution.

I need to flash the BIOS on an old machine currently running CentOS 6, and I've never really done this before. Googling around seems to indicate that this is not a particularly simple process, and Gigabyte only seems to have a .exe file available for my particular board(http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=2579&dl=1#ov). Can anyone tell me what the best way to proceed with this is? I've downloaded flashrom and have been reading through the manpages for it, but it's not been terribly helpful.

Looks like those .exe files are actually self-extracting 7-Zip files. Inside there's a .F6 file which is the actual BIOS image. Get p7zip, extract the .F6, and follow the manual to perform the update from inside the BIOS UI. You'll probably need a FAT32 flash drive; GIGABYTE doesn't speak ext3.

I need to put Linux on something with just a floppy drive.
